Selling as a complete station only - Drake R-4B receiver T-4XB transmitter MS-4 speaker and AC-4 power supply. I've owned and operated these since acquiring them in 2001. They can operate as separates or can be coupled together to transceive using either the transmitter or receiver as the master PTO. Besides the standard band coverage both the transmitter and receiver are filled with extra crystals for WARC bands MARS frequencies and shortwave listening.

All the components are in good working condition. The power supply was rebuilt by Drake shortly before I acquired them. Included is a bare circuit board and instructions for a Heathkit Shop rebuild kit in the event it needs rebuilding in the future.

Cosmetically I would rate these as a 7 or 8. The front panels are in very good condition but the cabinets have the typical paint chips here and there. The copper chassis have some discoloration and minor pitting. Operationally the transmitter's finals are a bit soft and do not provide full output. The band switch on the transmitter is a bit fiddly and likely could use some cleaning. Otherwise everything works as expected but keep in mind that these are 40 year old radios and require occasional maintenance.

Included is a Shure 520SL green bullet microphone and interconnecting cables between the transmitter and receiver. Also included are many spare tubes including 2 extra sets of finals one of which are matched Sylvanias. These are a mix of new NOS and used but tested good tubes. The transmitter comes with an original manual and the receiver has a photocopied manual both in good condition.

These classics are expensive to ship but if you live in the Southern Wisconsin Northern Illinois area local pickup is an option. Otherwise I can ship domestically for actual cost and required insurance.

Payment is by US Postal Service money order or Paypal with a surcharge to cover their fees.
